Map 7 - Mirror Lake
Rating Comments: A very pretty site with interesting options. Walk past the beach, used for summer swimming, up over a ridge looking down onto a unique black spruce bog, then up over a ridge overlooking Little Mirror Lake. Primary trail ends on discontinued Sheridan Road which is part of the Goddard trail, connecting up to miles of trails at Oxbow. Plenty of free parking outside of beach season. Moderate.
